    8 is definitely the most important. people dont realize that anyone can be a millionare. it is all about diciplined spending and making the right investments.

    number 4 made me chuckle a little bit. simple becasue first semester my english teacher made us make a resueme and she wouldn’t give us any points until it was perfect. it was either a 0 or an 100. crazy, but let me tell you, i’m guessing in a few years i’m gonna be glad she put us though making it and revising it a million times.

    I totaly agree with numbers 1, 2, 4, & 13. Poor writings skills can set you back when you are not able to communicate clearly. Even in a resume you have to know how to cut out all the ‘fluff’. Number five is not far behind either. Communication by speech is a big bonus when in an interview. Ask what is necessary and answer what is required. One time I got too lose on an interview. I totally thought I was going to get the job! Being too charasmatic will get you X’ed quickly.
